- 1 cup white chocolate morsels

Instructions
Step 1
To start making your Copycat TruFru, first, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need fresh fruit, yogurt, and a bit of honey for sweetness. Once you have everything ready, wash and slice your fruit into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they’re not too thick so they freeze well. Spread the fruit evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they’re not touching each other to prevent clumping. Now, pop them in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until they’re firm to the touch. This step sets the stage for that delightful crunch we all love in a frozen treat!
Step 2
To begin crafting your Copycat TruFru, start by preparing your fruit. Choose your favorite fresh fruits—strawberries, bananas, or apples work beautifully. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Next, slice the fruit into manageable pieces that are about 1-inch thick; this will help them hold their shape during the coating process. While you’re working with the fruit, preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This low temperature will ensure that the fruit dehydrates slowly, allowing the flavors to concentrate without burning. Once your fruit is prepped and the oven is ready, you’ll be all set to move on to the next delicious step!
Step 3
To achieve that delightful coating on your TruFru, start by preparing your chocolate mixture. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your chocolate chips and a splash of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 1.5 minutes total, depending on your microwave. Once your chocolate is ready, dip each piece of fruit into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure it's fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the fruit on a parchment-lined baking sheet. After all your fruit is dipped, pop the baking sheet in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch. You’ll know it’s ready when the chocolate looks glossy and has a nice snap to it.

My Tip
To get that smooth, glossy finish on your chocolate coating, make sure to temper the chocolate by gently melting it and stirring in a bit of neutral oil. This not only helps with consistency but also gives your Copycat TruFru a professional touch!
Leftovers
To store your Copycat TruFru, place the chocolate-covered strawberries and raspberries in a single layer in a shallow container lined with parchment paper. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. For a delightful treat, enjoy them straight from the fridge—no reheating needed!
Make It Your Own
For a delightful twist, try swapping out the strawberries for fresh pineapple chunks. The juicy sweetness pairs beautifully with the white and dark chocolate, giving your Copycat TruFru a tropical flair that’s simply irresistible!
